Nadine Dorries wants to use her time on I'm A Celebrity to reach out to voters but she now finds herself suspended from her own party for not getting permission to take part.

Chief Whip George Young removed the whip from Dorries, setting the path for a turbulent meeting when she finally returns.

A Tory source said: "She has been suspended from the party until she meets with George Young when she comes back, when she will have to explain herself.

"The concern is she is not doing her parliamentary duty and serving her constituents."

Dorries has faced a barage of criticism from her own party.

Former MP Louise Mensch tweeted: "Perhaps whilst in the Jungle Nadine could be set the task of finding the plot. ‪#lostforever‬(sic)"

However, some critics think that David Cameron has made the wrong move by suspending her - especially in the light of not sacking former Chief Whip Andrew Mitchell for his comments to coppers on Downing Street.

Many think that she will now go from MP shirking her duties to rebel MP who does what she wants - and may actually prove popular on I'm A Celebrity.
